Long time since last update, but wanted to close because I tried Kubuntu 23.10
(kernel 6.5.0-14-generic) and everything suddenly works great. Laptop sleeps
and wakes fine, external monitor works without issue. Whatever. I'm just glad
it works

Sorry for the double post (doesn't look like there's a way to edit my previous
comments on here) but I should also mention I've found it's probably related to
the display itself - since I just got done reinstalling kubuntu today and redid
my power settings, disabled suspend after a delay, but left screen energy
saving (after 5 minutes or whatever) on - see screenshot:

And it *still* does the glitchy behavior & necessitates restarting the computer
when I left the laptop for 15 minutes and the screen turned off. This is with
no suspend involved at all at this point.

Oh yeah my bad totally forgot to mention that I'm on Xorg. I just tried Wayland
and I guess it appears it does not do it on that...

And I actually did test a few different versions of ubuntu and kubuntu live
ISO's (20.04, 21.04, 22.04...) and discovered it does indeed do it on all of
them, ubuntu (gnome) included. So yeah sorry about that, guess this isn't
KDE-specific after all. Still not sure where to go from here though, I don't
love using wayland full-time for various reasons

[Powerdevil] [Bug 455297] New: Screen goes black, unresponsive, upon waking up laptop from sleep (but it blinks periodically, and system is still alive)

2022-06-14 Thread jdally987
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=455297

Bug ID: 455297
   Summary: Screen goes black, unresponsive, upon waking up laptop
from sleep (but it blinks periodically, and system is
still alive)
   Product: Powerdevil
   Version: 5.24.4
  Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
  Severity: major
  Priority: NOR
 Component: general
  Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
  Reporter: jdally...@gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug
symbols.
See
https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***

Upon putting the laptop to sleep, and then waking it up, the screen will turn
back on and display the cursor very briefly (maybe 0.25 seconds), during which
time it is movable/controllable, before shutting back off to black. Then it
will start blinking, at a rate of about once per second, for a tiny instant
(like, even less than the 0.25s the cursor was visible before). Strangely,
during the "blinks", the content of the screen *is* barely discernable for that
split second - I'll see a glimpse of the lockscreen wallpaper or the chrome
tabs I had open, for the infinitesimal duration that the screen has "blinked"
on.
Additionally, the OS seems to be alive, but barely - more like in a coma -
because if I plug it into AC power, the KDE "power connected" chime plays out
of the speakers just fine. However, nothing else seems to work. I tested by
opening spotify, starting to play a song, locking the computer (without
sleeping it) and making sure my sxhkd shortcut for media play/pause (which I
bound to Meta+Z) indeed played & paused the music on the lockscreen. Then I
slept the computer and woke it a couple seconds later. Following the cursor
disappearing and display turning black & starting to blink, I tried Meta+Z a
few times, and nothing happened. Assuming it had gotten to the lockscreen, as I
have enabled lock after wake in plasma settings, the key combo should've
unpaused the music like before. But it doesn't - despite the "power connected"
chime functioning correctly as I mentioned.

Finally, I've noticed this only happens maybe 9 out of 10 times. Sometimes the
computer will awake from sleep and show the lockscreen without killing the
display & blinking incessantly, and let me log back in no problem. I haven't
nailed down what causes it to work or not yet, but I noted the other day it
worked correctly when the battery dropped under 15% (the "low" level) and thus
went to sleep on its own. When I woke it up it worked swimmingly. Since this
bug has caused me a lot of grief, I set my Energy Saving settings to NOT
suspend automatically, but I forgot to uncheck that on the "On Low Battery"
tab, hence why it surprised me to find the laptop had slept by itself (thinking
I'd now have to reboot, because of the bug), and then doubly-surprised me when
I woke it and found it DIDN'T exhibit the buggy behavior.


Anyway this is weird; I'd love to attach a backtrace but I'm not sure what
exactly is crashing. I'm filing this under powerdevil because it seems to have
something to do with suspend/wake, but I suppose it could be something with
kscreen or something as well. Regardless I've scoured my syslog to try & find
anything out of the ordinary after the bug occurred & I had to reboot, but
haven't found anything suspicious, so if someone can provide me guidance on how
to figure out what exactly needs to be backtraced in the first place, I'll
gladly go ahead & do that. (ps: on the suggested
How_to_create_useful_crash_reports wiki page, under the "Ubuntu-based distros"
section, 2 out of the 3 links it points to are dead, which was another
roadblock to me getting any kinds of debugging output)


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Suspend/sleep the system
2. Press power button to wake
3. Move the mouse around frantically as it wakes, to see the cursor move for
0.25s before the screen shuts off, then observe it blinking once/second

OBSERVED RESULT
The display goes black/unresponsive after what looks to be the OS waking from
sleep normally (evidenced by the brief period where the cursor is visible and
responsive).

EXPECTED RESULT
The display should come on about a second after pressing the power button, then
the lockscreen should be displayed about another second later, and NOT turn off
suddenly.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
One more notable detail is the laptop I'm using is an LG Gram, 2021 model,
which I just recently bought. However, I started experiencing this behavior
just a few weeks *before* I bought this model - at which time I was still using
my older, 2019 model LG Gram. I kind of hoped it

Hey I get this too - on NixOS 20.09 (plasma5 package ver 5.18.5 I think). I
thought it might be a security concern but I have no idea - just wondering what
it could be in any case.

I'll attach what syslog spits out when I run `nixos-rebuild switch`, it's right
there in the middle:

systemd[9477]: Configuration file
/run/current-system/sw/etc/xdg/autostart/klipper.desktop is marked executable.
Please remove executable permission bits. Proceeding anyway.

(although it looks like all the .desktop files in that directory are executable
as well)

New crash information added by DrKonqi

spectacle (20.04.3) using Qt 5.14.2

- What I was doing when the application crashed:
WARNING: EXCESSIVE DETAIL
Had gotten a weird kernel error from Chromium which made the whole page crash.
I opened the devtools but apparently that had crashed too, and I couldn't even
investigate the page's contents, which showed an "Error code:
RESULT_CODE_UNINSTALL_USER_CANCEL" (in a suspiciously smaller font than is
usual for the various chrome error pages) and for that matter my mouse cursor
didn't change to a "link" hand (pointer finger) when mousing over the "Reload"
button on the page, even though I could hit the "Learn more" hyperlink.

Anyway, so I started browsing around each tab of the Devtools just to see if
any worked, and somehow under the Protocol Monitor tab (one of the "More tools"
extra tabs, and I think maybe has to be enabled as an Experimental devtools
setting) it showed a bit of history of that tab's javascript. Went to the
beginning and dug a bit to find a Security.securityStateChanged event with an
"unknown" value for the "displayedInsecureContentStyle" and
"ranInsecureContentStyle" keys, so I knew something was fishy.

Googled it, came across this old bug:
https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!msg/headless-dev/RqxZAsYra0Y/9D0x8UqQBgAJ

Went to the "airhorner(dot)com" page the OP mentioned; noticed a redirect
before it successfully got to the page and so I checked out its certificate.
Found it was using the GlobalSign Root CA - R2 issued "GTS CA 1D2" intermediate
cert, which I hadn't seen before, so I went on google's certificates page and
found the tester links for that one; and sure enough, the "good" test worked
fine but the "revoked" test marked it as still good. I'm pretty sure that
should give me a warning if it was working correctly right?

So THAT's (finally) when I opened Spectacle to document the bad cert, and that
crashed too!
WARNING: EXCESSIVE DETAIL END

Alright, I only included all that above^ because I've had some kind of hellish
bug or malware, who knows, I'm really not sure at this point - plaguing my
machine(s) for months now, so wanted to leave any extra detail that might help
anyone who has the same issues.

For the Spectacle problem alone, I dunno, check out the crash log, I'm not good
at interpreting the kernel stuff, still have no idea where this problem (as a
whole) started from. It could well be something that LG, my laptop
manufacturer, misconfigured with the CPU/platform in the bios settings instead
of something malicious. Laptop is an LG Gram 17 (17z990-R.AAS7U1). Certificate
issues abound in Ubuntu (vanilla, gnome) 20.04 as well, plus myriad more, which
I won't get into detail about, but this is the first time I've had so many
things crash on me at once so perhaps KDE aggravated it, not sure.

- Unusual behavior I noticed:
